My Portfolio

My portfolio showcases the heart and soul of St. Petersburg - from elegant waterfront ceremonies at the iconic St. Pete Pier to sun-dappled family portraits along Beach Drive's scenic waterfront, and the vibrant energy of our community celebrations at Vinoy Park. Each photograph tells a story of our community's artistic spirit, from the dynamic Central Arts District with its colorful murals to the peaceful Sunken Gardens, capturing the wonderful families who call the Sunshine City home.

Equipment & Style


My signature style combines photojournalistic authenticity with artistic refinement. I specialize in capturing genuine moments while ensuring each image is technically polished and visually striking. Using natural light whenever possible, I create bright, airy photographs that feel timeless and elegant. I enjoy vibrant, real color and dynamic images.


Equipment I rely on includes:

  • Professional-grade Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses for exceptional image quality
  • State-of-the-art lighting equipment for any shooting condition (studio & beyond).
  • Advanced post-processing software for professional editing.


My approach emphasizes:

  • Clean, crisp images with natural color tones.
  • Thoughtful composition that draws attention to genuine emotions.
  • A mix of posed and candid shots to tell your complete story.
  • Attention to detail in both shooting and editing processes.
